Midnight Sun, 2019, Single Channel Video

Midnight Sun is a composite of digitally altered short video clips taken of the midnight sun and the natural landscape in northern Iceland. The colors are directly related to the video as a stretched column of pixels, and shapes of the landscapes are traced from these recorded landscapes. The kinetic layers and movement of shapes compress time from hours into minutes and vast spaces into a 2-dimensional scene. As the forms slowly move out of view like curtains, colors of a sunset sink and begin to disappear, but as witnessed in true summer northern latitudes, never completely dip below the horizon and return for another day.
